UNOPS does not pursue any profit in its activities
UNOPS operates on a cost recovery basis and therefore does not pursue any profit in the development of its activities. Each project executed by UNOPS reflects a cost structure that is based on the different inputs necessary to ensure efficient management and attention to the principles and values, as well as the Financial Rules and Regulations that apply to UNOPS.
Sustainability
In 2018, UNOPS reinforced its commitment to supplier sustainability and created the DRiVE Sustainability Program (Delivering Responsibility in Vendor Engagement), aimed at the evaluation, inspection and planning of corrective actions in this area, with the objective to ensure that suppliers work responsibly and in accordance with the highest standards of integrity.
